Lifestyle: cooking: when pancakes cause controversy

Self-tutoring about lifestyle: the tutor mentions this morning’s grumbling over pancakes.

As a kid, I loved pancakes, but my parents seldom made them. I guess I never got my fill, so still love them – even the idea of them on a plate.

Last night I saw a stack of pancakes some random place, then said to my wife, “I’m making pancakes tomorrow morning.” She laughed, but I was serious.

This morning, my grade 11 son, leaving his room, mentioned “bagel and cream cheese.”

“I’ve made pancakes,” I replied. He grumbled.

“What’s wrong?” I asked. However, I knew what his complaint would be.

“Pancakes made with white flour is junk food,” he commented.

“It’s a cup of flour with an egg and a cup of milk…how can that be bad?”

More grumbling…

My wife got involved. “Paul, your Dad’s made pancakes. I’m grateful, James is grateful, now eat your breakfast.”

Grudgingly, he did eat his pancake.

The absurdity of the situation pleases me so much, I think I’ll make pancakes – a double batch – tomorrow morning as well:)
